1. In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the sour cream, water and 2 tablespoons butter to 120°-130°; add to dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 12 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.4. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Melt remaining butter; brush over rolls. Remove from pan to a wire rack.

^my best attempt at capturing the fluffy-ness of the rolls.

*I made some minor adjustments to the recipe.. might have substituted some bread flour for the AP flour? (I will need to note it as soon as I find my recipe notebook :P) All in all.. this recipe is GREAT! Super fluffy and soft rolls. The sour cream definitely added something extra, maybe more spring-yness and lightness, to these dinner rolls!

This will be my go- to recipe when I need to make some dinner rolls for a potluck or something(:

-Taste: 5 stars out of 5Nothing I can nit pick on. Simple goodness. Hehe.-Texture: 5 stars out of 5 ♥♥♥♥♥Note: these rolls remained soft and fluffy for 2-3 days in room temperature! Definitely best when consumed the day of.

ENJOY!p.s. I feel like making some tofu cheesecake next! Anyone got a good recipe?

My first time finding your blog through Tastespotting, and this recipe is definitely going into my bookmarks. I'm intrigued with your use of sour cream in these rolls and can't wait to try it. They do look soft and fluffy.

I found your blog on tastespotting. I love fluffy rolls. I have to try this recipe, they look good. But I don't have sour cream right now. Might need to buy some for the recipe. Anyways, thanks for sharing! :D

I've never made bread before, so when I tried this recipe I was a little skeptical. But they turned out beautifully! Thanks for the recipe post with the encouraging photo, I was aiming for the golden-brown tops, hehe :)
